Truly we have achieved peak….something…when Congressman John Lewis and RuPaul are considered 1/50th of the world’s 100 most influential people. Writing in Time, Sen. Cory Booker said of Lewis: In the 1960s, Lewis was one of the “Big Six” civil rights leaders, and today he is the last remaining person alive who spoke at the March on
You can now refer to George Ervin Perdue as Secretary Sonny. Our former governor was confirmed as the 39th Secretary of Agriculture today. With Sonny’s confirmation, Georgia now has more power in the White House than at any time since the Carter Administration, if my memory serves me right. In addition to his lofty governmental
President Trump is claiming credit for ensuring no Republican won in last night’s CD-6 race. Despite major outside money, FAKE media support and eleven Republican candidates, BIG "R" win with runoff in Georgia. Glad to be of help! — Donald J.

April 28 is also the date President Trump will address the NRA Annual Meetings, taking place at the Georgia World Congress Center. The NRA tweeted the news on Friday. It will be the first time Trump qua President will visit the Peach State. President Trump will
Just kidding, we all know that’s impossible. Instead, President Trump relied on his usual bombastic and semi-conspiratorial scolding (AKA: his most presidential sounding voice) to predict Republicans will win on Tuesday. Anyone want to hazard a guess if he even knows who the Republicans are? Methinks he has no clue. The recent Kansas election (Congress) was
We all know what happened last night and that’s partly what has made writing this post so difficult. The other difficulty is how utterly unimaginable it should be that one of the most important cities in the world’s richest, most powerful nation has a key element of its infrastructure collapse. Regrettably, America’s infrastructure is in horrible
The internet drives people to crave attention. Tumblr in particular pushed people to create increasingly absurd divisions of divisions of divisions to apply to themselves so that others will listen to what they have to say as a persecuted constituency of one.

Trump has already proved himself more mendacious than a Clinton. Truly a remarkable accomplishment. “Outside of a Small Circle of Friends” by Phil Ochs. Alyssa Milano gave folks a ride to the polls in CD-6. ATLiens satisfaction survey goes live on April 10. MARTA improves neighborhood. If you don’t want to be called a neo-confederate,
